Chiral Dynamics and Heavy Quark Symmetry in a Toy Field Theoretic Model

arXiv:hep-ph/9304265 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.49.409

Abstract

We study a solvable QCD--like toy theory, a generalization of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, which implements chiral symmetries of light quarks and heavy quark symmetry. The chiral symmetric and chiral broken phases can be dynamically tuned. This implies a parity doubled heavy--light meson system, corresponding to a multiplet and a heavy spin multiplet. Consequently the mass difference of the two multiplets is given by a Goldberger--Treiman relation and is found to be small. The Isgur--Wise function, , the decay constant, , and other observables are studied.
